Why would you get downvoted in a community called LinkedIn Lunatics where we are expressly making fun of the content of the post?

I'll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.

False! The Earth and Sun orbit the center of gravity between the two of them!

The center of solar system is not always between those two objects. Half the time they're both on the same side of the center

False! They all exist in a complex system of gravitational pull where all bodies, not just these two, have differing degrees of influence on each other dictated by distance and mass!

False! What you wrote is true, but it doesn't make the comment above false!

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.

The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.
